An iceberg is often seen by passengers on
board our ocean steamers, going from Amer
lea to England, at certain seasons of the
year, but although dazzling, beautiful sight,
sailors always avoid it if they possibly can on
account of the danger of collision. Great
f1ocks Of sea birds nestle in the crevices Of
icebergs, while seals often rest upon their
surface, diving into the water when they
wish for food, and returning to the berg as to
their home. Polar bears have also been seen
in the same situation, having probably been
carried out to sea against their will, when the
berg was first detached from the stationary
ice

The ISOrneO Orangs,

Mr.. W. + Hornaday, in Science, says re-
garding the orang as observed by him in its
native forests: Each individual of the
Borneo orangs differs from his fellows, and
has as many facial peculiarities belonging to
himself alone as can be found in the individ-
uals of any unmixed race Of human beings"
After recountng the many traits of the orang,
heretofore regarded as peculiar to man, he
says: "Let any one who is prejudiced against
Darwinian views so to the forests Of Borneo;
let him there watch from day to day this
strangely human form in all its various
phases of existence; let him see it climb,
walk, build its nest, eat and drink, and fight
like human 'roughs;' let him see the female
suckle her young and carry it astride her hip
precisely as do the coolie women of Hindostan;
let him witness their human like emotions of
affection, satisfaction, pain and childish rage"

CELERY.

sides sloped AS the plants grow higher
the earth may be dug from the center Of
the row with spade and banked up
against the celery.
Last season attention was called to the
blanching of celery with tile. 1t is prob
able that some of our foremost cultivators
will try this plan this season and report
success or failure from the same in due
time.
1t should be borne in mind that celery
must not I've worked or touched while wet
with rain or dew; this rule applies not
only to it's cultivation in the seed bed, but
to the earthing process and when storing
for winter. Some growers tie the stalks
with string in place of holding with the
hand while earthing.
Celery that is to be stored for cold WIN
ter and early spring use need not be
banked, as it blanches after it is in the
trench. The trenches are dug in dry soil,
well underdrained, or where water will
not stand these are made the width Of the
spade and as deep as the celery is high.
The celery is packed in these trenches in
an upright position with what earth adj
heres to the roots, closely, but not crowd
ing. No covering is put on until the
weather becomes cold. Finally the trench
is covered with straw, leaves Or other
litter, and the earth rounded up along
over the trench. A covering of boards
over the litter is recommended.

the earlier process Of banking is variously
termed, begins about six weeks after the
plants have been set out or as soon MS the
stalks begin to lie down. The object of
this carthing is to keep the stalks upright
and cause new growth to start the best

plants are quite dry to compress the
stalks with the left hand and crowd earth
about them with the other.
A great point is to prevent dry earth
falling between the stalks; it must be
firmed about them in such manner as to
keep the plants straight and compact. The
first earthing up is from two to four
inches high, enough to keep the plant
straight. More soil is gradually drawn
up to the plant by means of hoe or pillow
until the banking is completed. The bank
is best made broad ut the base and the

A Burberry Hedge.

The berberry or barberry, as this hardy
plant is variously termed, is employed in
some localities as hedge. It is easily
propagated both from seed and by a
division of the roots. The seed may be
sown in early spring or as soon as ripe
and before they have dried. If the seed
are kept long before planting they are
covered in moist sand. A very usual
plan is to sow the seed in the garien
and transplant the seedlings in the hedge
row, though some prefer to sow the seed
where the hedge is desired, afterwards
thinning out the young plants.

Constipation of the bowels is the almost
sure result of slow and imperfect digestion,
says DR.. E. G. Cook, and from this manifest
ills arise. Many women who would scorn to
take the trouble to eat properly and keep
their digestive organs in good condition, spend
money and time upon freckles, moth spots
and pimples upon their face, vainly trying to
cover with cosmetics that which proper care
in diet would entirely remove.

Time Necessary to Feel Cold and Heat.
1t is well known that a cold sensation
reaches the consciousness more rapidly than
a sensation of warmth. DR.. Goldscheider, of
Berlin, whose researches on the hot and cold
points of the skin have gained him high
reputation, has, it is claimed, at last accurate
ly measured the length of time necessary to
perceive these sensations. The observations
were made on parts equally sensitive to heat
and cold, and with intensities of heat and
cold equally different from the temperature
of the part. The time Of contact was recorded
electrically by means of a metallic button
fixed to the skin. Contact with a cold point
was felt on the face after 1876, on the arm
after 1S, on the abdomen after %, on the knee
after 25 hundredths of second. The sensa-
ton of hot point was felt on the same sur
faces after 10, q, 62 and 70 hundredths of a
second, respectively, This great difference in
time has an important theoretical bearing on
the physiology of dermal sensations.

Nickel Crucibles.

1t is well known that pure nickel is one of
the toughest of all the metals, and that it
fuses only at very high temperature. 1t has
very fine grain, takes high polish, and is
very compact and unalterable. These quail
ties have led to its being employed for cruel
bles and evaporatng dishes. For many pur-
poses, asserts j. A. Wanklyn in Chemical
News, crucibles of pure nickel are quite as
serviceable as platinum crucibles; and they
are much cheaper, costing only about one
tenth as much as platinum. They stand
the action of alkalies remarkably well; there
was no alteration in the weight of the cruel

We call the attention of urotectionists
to an important home industry which is

is necessary to prevent competition with
the "pauper labor of Europe" and
which compels an OK President Of the
United States to prosecute his business
vt M immense sacrifice. owing to the
lax and unjust tariff laws which permit
tie importation of eggs free Of duty.
tits not. perhaps. generally known
that the importation Of eggs has reached
gigantic proportions, aud unless some
meaus be devised to protect American
hennerys this important industry must
eventually succumb to the influence OF
foreign importations produced by the
pauper fowls of Europe, and our once
boasted American hen be compelled to
give up the manufacture of u comtho Ii
ty which does not pay the cost of pro-
duction. Stntistics show that since the
close of the war of the Rebellion the inn
portation of eggs has been constantly
ou the increase until the year 1884,
when the enormous number Of 16, 49,
2O4 dozen Eggs from Europe reached
the United States and were admitted
free of duty, thereby entailing heavy
lose on an important American indus
try. In 1885 the importation decreased
somewhat, and we find that the number
Of eggs imported was but 1908, 450
doz~n The stntistics for 1885 are not
yet published, but it is fair to presume
thnt with the prices which hen fruit
maintained during that year there was
no dimiuution in the importation of
foreign egea. Let the American hen be
protected by wise and judicious re-
vision of the tariff laws. s''si
